VincentNL and the Rent-A-Modders' English translation of Sega's Dreamcast comedy RPG Rent A Hero No.1, with bug fixes, new VMU animations and an optional widescreen version.
What's translated
The whole game is in English. The project was led by VincentNL, who first showed a proof of concept in 2021, with a team calling itself the Rent-A-Modders; version 1.0 came out in May 2023.
What's new
Besides the translation, the patch adds new VMU animations and fixes bugs in the original release. There is also a widescreen variant, though the team warns that it can show visual glitches.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese disc following the notes on the patch's romhacking.net page. Emulator users need a Dreamcast BIOS dumped from their own console, with HLE BIOS turned off, or the game may freeze or show a black screen.
